Radio BOB Progressive Rock

In Germany's listing Radio BOB Progressive Rock lands at 283 of 1,409, which puts it on the first or second page of the country hub rather than in its tail.

The prog rock corner of Germany's dial is two stations deep in this snapshot. Small clusters like that are usually the most rewarding thing on a country page, because they are what the national broadcasters at the top of the list are not.

The directory carries no bitrate for Radio BOB Progressive Rock. The field is filled from what the stream's own server reports when it is scanned, so an empty one usually means a server that answers without announcing itself rather than a bad stream. Germany's stations that do report come in at a median of 128 kbps, for whatever that is worth as a guess.

45 of Germany's entries are served from streams.radiobob.de, this one among them. A shared host means a shared fate. If this stream is silent, the fastest check is not this station's own site but whether its neighbours on the same platform are playing.

The broadcaster publishes at radiobob.de, on Germany's own country domain. A national domain is a small piece of evidence that the station is what the directory says it is, since these are the harder ones to register from somewhere else.
